Credit: Eric Ray DavidsonGerard Way is heading back to the studio. The former My Chemical Romance frontman tweeted on Tuesday that he's recording with producer Mike Elizondo, who has previously worked with bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Twenty One Pilots, Mastodon and Switchfoot.

"Recording session today with Mike Elizondo and his crew of really rad people," Way writes. "What will happen? Who knows!"

Elizondo produced Avenged Sevenfold's last two albums, 2013's Hail to the King and 2010's Nightmare, both of which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and he co-produced Twenty One Pilots' latest album, Blurryface, which also debuted at number one.

After My Chemical Romance broke-up in 2013, Way pursued a solo career. His solo debut, Hesitant Alien, was released in 2014. Way will be touring Russia this September in continued support of Hesitant Alien, followed by a short, five-date North American tour at the end of October.
